Our Mission

Trans Farmers for Trans Farmers is a trans-led organization dedicated to cultivating connection, community, and opportunity among trans people farming.

Trans Farmers for Trans Farmers was a project created by a working cohort of trans farmers in the Northeast US as a small project under Cultivemos, a regional element of FRSAN in 2022. It was developed to connect and support trans farmers across the US with vibrant community and content.

Soon after beginning the project, the working group decided to formalize as an organization in order to continue the work beyond the end date of the Cultivemos agreement.

In May of 2023, TF4TF became a formal independent organization dedicated to the connection, support, and peer-led education of trans farmers.

About TF4TF

Our Vision

As trans farmers we are working to:

  • Grow and support a vibrant, interconnected community of trans farmers that centers and supports the oppressed.

  • Help realize land access, skills, knowledge, and other resources essential for farming for our community.

  • Support our ability to pursue farming in a safe, joyful, and creative way.

Our Values

We will do this work in order to:

  • Foster resiliency of land and body.

  • Build trans only spaces and community.

  • Commit to equity and intersectionality within TF4TF: dismantling any reconstruction of dominant structures of power, including patriarchy, white supremacism, and classism.
